Security to keep
information safe
All devices on the network need to
ensure network element security as well
as data integrity. The Ethernet Routing
Switch 8600 employs several layers
of built-in security for both switch
access and network data. Nortel Secure
Network Access v1.5 offers seamless
secure access for internal end users
(i.e., wired or wireless LAN networks)
or external users. Firewalls, passwords,
access policies, secure protocols, address
and port filtering, routing policies
